About House of Light
A snapshot of our history
History
Our mission and values
House of Light is a perinatal mental health charity offering support and counselling to parents before and after birth. Founded in 2007 and driven forward by women of lived experience of perinatal illness, we are just as passionate about helping people and raising awareness today, as we were the day we started.
We offer group peer support and one to one counselling to help you recover from the symptoms associated with perinatal mental health issues such as antenatal or postnatal depression and anxiety and birth trauma. For a full list of what we can help with please click on the link.
House of Light was one of the first support services dedicated to postnatal depression in our area. We received calls for support from across the United Kingdom and indeed from other countries.
A national freephone helpline and a local peer support group were set up and available to mums struggling with postnatal depression. Over the years House of Light has evolved and developed to meet the demand of our local community.
City Healthcare Partnership Hull became the lead provider for the Let’s Talk counselling service and House of Light was one of the original sub-providers. Now any new mum with a Hull GP could access counselling from our specialist service via Let’s Talk.
We continue to this day to deliver talking therapies for both the Emotional Wellbeing Service and the Let’s Talk Service.
Our expanding service delivery and demand from the residents of Hull and East Riding meant that a move to larger premises was needed.
There are so many employees, volunteers, trustees, services, and grant providers that have made House of Light what it is today. House of Light has helped many thousands of people over the years. Today our team at House of Light continue to strive to deliver the best possible, most welcoming service we can with the patient at the centre of everything.
